肯塔基州暴雨洪水災情嚴重，至少九人死亡
暴雨及隨後的洪水嚴重破壞了肯塔基州，造成至少九人死亡，其中包括一名兒童，並引發了大規模的緊急應對措施。州長安迪·貝希爾宣布進入緊急狀態，因為這場風暴系統帶來了傾盆大雨、山洪暴發和全州範圍內的降雪。受災最嚴重的地區包括哈特縣，那裡有一名母親和她的孩子被洪水沖走，以及派克縣，該地區經歷了嚴重的洪水和廣泛的破壞。
洪水導致了超過1,000次的水上救援，數百人被困並需要緊急援助。東肯塔基州，特別是派克維爾和哈澤德，遭受了重大破壞，建築物被淹沒，道路無法通行。緊急避難所和州立公園已開放以安置流離失所的居民，同時快速水上救援隊和肯塔基國民警衛隊已被部署以協助恢復工作。
州長貝希爾警告說，隨著救援行動的繼續，死亡人數預計會上升。總統唐納德·特朗普批准了緊急災難聲明，使聯邦資源能夠支持該州的應對措施。洪水還導致了停電，並中斷了數萬名居民的水和污水服務。
氣象學家指出，肯塔基州幾乎每個縣都經歷了某種程度的洪水，部分地區降雨量高達七英寸。情況因即將到來的暴風雪而更加複雜，這可能會進一步影響恢復工作。官員們敦促居民避免進入被洪水淹沒的道路，並在危機持續發展時保持警惕。
